Analyzing the results of
gcc -O0 -masm=intel gistfile1.c
should pretty much tell you what's going on, if you use it diagram out the stack frame of main.On my Ubuntu desktop,
int overflow = 1000;
translates tomov DWORD PTR [rbp-36], 1000
, andarr[2] = 30
translates intomov DWORD PTR [rbp-24], 30
.arr[3]
would be the contents of[rbp-20]
. As Franklin points out, the allocation of stack ordering is not defined.
